SK8TRACK

Inline skating for
watches that lack it.

Some Garmin watches still have no inline skating profile. SK8TRACK adds one: numbers big enough to read at speed, and a ride that turns up in Garmin Connect and Strava as Inline Skating, with nothing to remap by hand.

Free on the Garmin Connect IQ Store.

What is on the screen

Two screens, four fields each. What you see by default is what is useful while moving; everything else is one menu away.

GPS & speed

Current, average and maximum speed, distance and moving time.

Heart rate

Heart rate, averages and heart-rate zones where supported.

Laps

Manual or automatic laps with lap time, distance, speed and heart rate.

Configurable

Two data screens and eight configurable metric slots.

GNSS options

GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and multiband options where supported by the watch.

Inline Skating

The activity is recorded using the Inline Skating activity type.

On the watch

Two data screens, a lap list and a summary after saving. Shown here on a Forerunner 165; the layout adapts to the size of your watch.

Support the development

SK8TRACK is free and stays free. If it serves you well, you can buy me a coffee — and if there is ever too much coffee, another watch. I test on two of the twenty-nine models it supports, so there is some catching up to do.

Ko-fi below, or PayPal.

I write SK8TRACK on my own and test it on a Forerunner 165 and a Venu 2. The other watches run the same code, checked against the Garmin SDK, but I do not have them in hand. If something is off on yours, write to me from the Support page and say which model, which firmware and what you were doing. Most things I can fix quickly.
